The following communication from the
chamber of commerce, of Poplar Grove,
Ark, was then read
Brother Gardner:
The undersigned, heing unable to under.
stand the meaning, object and intention
Of the getting up and putting through OF
the interstate commerce bIl, write 10 you
10 know about it. Was it done for the
benefit of the railroads? We think it was,
as il benefits them alone. There has not
been one single instance in which it has
lowered lrei"hts, but in nearly every case
it has made them higher. 4 friend ut my
elbow saws it is for their benefit. Know
mg you to be posted on all public matters
we write you. Please present this To your
whole lodge and get their reply under the
seal of the lodge, and the seal must have
the pictures on too.
